If you have a lot of other tasks that have high priority/affinity, then they might steal all the juice from the MUD and the mud "freezes" and misses pulses. You get the same effect if you run a debugger and freezes it (i.e. by pressing CTRL+C in gdb for instance) and then make it continue again. I'd say that W2K is not the optimal platform for a mud to run on. especially if your computer is not fast. If I were you, I'd get a smaller computer (just about any Pentium is often enough, unless you're running a very large mud) and install Linux on it.
